Aha! I've been trying on-and-off to get an old memory pcmcia card
of mine to work under redhat 8.0.  I get very similar messages to
Blessing when I plug the card in (see below).  My research as far
as it goes is that pc card support is all quite different now, and
the old memory_cs driver isn't around anymore, and there doesn't
seem to be a replacement.  Does anyone have any pointer which
might help me?

Also, on a similar subject, I have an ethernet pc card which isn't
recognized.  I know which driver it needs (the RealTek one iirc),
but the list of vendor/product ids seem to be hard coded in the
driver source code(!).  In the olden days, I'd have edited the ids
into /etc/pcmcia/config; anyone know what I do now?  Edit the
source code?  Surely not.

any pointers appreciated,
Michael
